Overall Satisfaction with Freshdesk

We are using Freshdesk to manage IT service ticketing. Before, we used simple emails, which had become quite unmanageable. With Freshdesk, we have tickets in a single environment easily assignable to team members. It is possible to insert private notes for each ticket with notifications to other members, which is a handy function. With these simple functions, we have already greatly improved our IT helpdesk service.

Pros

  • Real time updates
  • Inserting private notes
  • Customizable environment

Cons

  • Better organizing tickets list
  • Easier way to ad reminders
  • Adding colors and tags to tickets
  • Configuration a little confusing
  • Faster resolution times.
  • Better experience for the team and the customer.
  • Unified platform to manage email and tickets.
Better time to productivity is the first thing that jumped at us. Using the freshdesk portal is pretty straightforward and at login there's little motivational sentences that get you in the right mood. So solving tickets gets faster also because of this, other than the procedure itself. on the other hand the customers appreciate the platform and the more professional approach of responses.
Actually, we haven't yet used those advanced features because our clients are inside clients from our organization, so they do not come and go. However, they appreciate the new system that is much better than having simple emails responses as we did before getting Freshdesk in place in our IT team.

I would suggest if for scenarios where there a team of more than 3 or 4 people, and where there's a fair amout of clients. Situations like IT offices, support for internal clients, support for externals, and whatever is related. The possibility of reaching the Freshdesk portal from anywhere is also helpful.
